This is one of my favourite Discworld stories. This audio adaptation is excellent, and the perfect story to listen to whilst on a walk or doing housework. 

There are two things which stood out to me this time more prominently than ever before. First, is how endearing it is when Mort asserts his name when he is called anything but his given appellation. Secondly, Death as performed here made him so much sadder than I remember.
Chapter 36 gave me a particular insight into Death’s loneliness that I felt deep down. I really do not remember being so emotionally affected by his story when I read it 20 years ago.
